I want to change my forum password. I click on usercp, login, then click 'edit password'. That brings up a page with the text 'Edit Password - Martin O', but there's no link to click or anything. Thanks.

I don't know why it is but I seem to be answering an unusual number of posts today with comments suggesting a better way of posting and such. Some people might call them criticisms. I hope I am being reasonable; I really think I am. I hope it is only coincidental.

Hi, I was wandering how can I have my name presented on my forum posts/replys instead of my username or in addition to it.<br/>Thaks in advance,<br/>Nimrod Fireman

My password is currently a random one selected by the website, and i want to change it to something more memorable to me. I went to the edit password page, but it was just a white screen where the password fields should have been. All the other edit pages work fine. Has anyone else noticed this, or...

I had an article come up (via a Goggle search) that deals with a current problem I am working through. The Google cache has the article itself and it appears one of the replies to the article has a solution but I can't open it. Is there a way I can access the old article database?Thanks!...

We need to do some maintenance on our forum database machine this Sunday night (4/4/2004). This will cause all forums and the mydesktop network of sites to be unavailable for approximately 15 minutes.

hi. how can I change my logo (i mean the icon)? I though it was in "edit profile" of user cp.

I just posted a reply to a beginners problem and realized that in order to explain the solution, I had to use a lot of terminology that a beginner would not be familiar with. It would be rather helpful if a link could be generated on keywords.If I wrote, You use the method from the class that inheri...

Honestly, there are structures using it as a name and when you say **** in a post, the censors make it look like you said something much worse.

I'd like the default behaviour when you click mark all forums read from the view new posts to be changed. If anyone objects to the change then you can make it configurable in the user cp if you like.But I'd like it to re-run the search for new threads, rather than pop back up to the main f...

[not allowing users to delete their own posts is a very dumb thing]

The message text box in the reply to thread page is too small. It doesn't seem to stretch to the edge of the page. Can an Admin take a look at it? <br/>Pretty please.<br/>Example Picture @ 1280x1024 resolution ( http://euank.users.btopenworld.com/dev-archive.jpg)

How about a quick reply box when viewing threads?If you don't know what it is, it's like a reply-to box which is directly beneath the last post when viewing a thread, so you can type in your message and post it, without needing to click 'reply'.I don't know if it is a hack o...

Does anybody else find the Microsoft ad for Visual Studio.NET (where the geeky guy scribbles flowchart symbols in red) as annoying as I do? It wouldn't be so bad if it would contain itself to within the ad borders, but Noooooo, it has to write all over the page, usually right when I'm abo...

Often times I have noticed that sometimes the answer to a question in the forums is right there in the FAQ or an article here in CG itself. It's kinda frustrating sometimes... Is it that people don't bother to check the articles and rather have someone else to search for them ? Is there an...

It was asked in a different forum if we could customize the front page of dev-archive (www.dev-archive.com) to filter out the .Net and VB stuff. Someone wanted just C++ stuff.

I realize that the words filter blocks out certain words in order to maintain this site as clean as possible in terms of the language that is being used, however, there are some things that should be reconsidered. I think that using the words "D*mn" and "H*ll" should be allowed. I don't think t...
